"Spot" vs "Process"
If you choose to define a color in a document as "spot" rather than "process" then it does not matter what profile you choose. If you choose to set your color as "process" then the CMYK numbers are totally dependent on the profile you choose so choose wisely. It's best to talk to your printer because it may be better to set your color as a "spot" even though it may be printed as 4 color process. Modern PrePress departments have the ability to convert to CMYK from spot in the RIP process so you don't have to. Also, remember that Photoshop TIF. JPEG, and PSD files do not actually allow you to set a color as a true "spot". You would have to save the document as a DCS2 File in order to set a color as spot. If you need more help let me know.
